Ok I have been saving up to go completely aftermarket on my sound system and today my HU went out. I have a 96 with the BOSE system. Does anyone have a short term solution for me? I would like to put a CHEAP Head unit in until I have enough money to do what I want. Any ideas?

Thanks

 

Here get this cheap thing. and you could be all set. http://7925.adahost.com/computer/item13431.html

 

Ok that is cheap but will it work with my Bose sound system. Also have heard that i need a special wireing harnes, where do i find that. And more importantly can i install it will my LIMITED stereo experience.

 

yes you do need speical wire harnes. diffintily. or go on ebay. and buy the same head unit as yours. they sell them on ebay. good prices.
or if you planning to do after market so just get this one and get the wire harneses. after this you all set.

 

I say just be patient until you finally make the jump to aftermarket...

 

I would go insane with out music in my car, i dont know about you.
plus if this guy going after market he do this now. and later on he get better HU.

 

will a HU from a different year bose system work with mine.

 

what is your year?
here i send you this link if you alreday took your HU out, you might see it looks like this on the back.

I have a 96 and there are a couple on ebay 98 and 2000. I think.

 

what is wrong with your current HU? Also, any 95-99 HUs should work.

 

it just went out. No reason just stopped working

 

I would say, just try to find a cheap bose HU in the for sale forum or on ebay, for now

 

Ok so i made another post because i feel this is a new problem, but now i go outside and the radio works, and the car will not turn over.
what the hell.

 

what the...

 

Im not sure if you car has mobilizer. I am thiking something could be wrong with your security system in the car. thats why its doing that.

 

ok so i think this is an Alternator problem, no i can get my car to start(with a jump) and everything runs good. What do you guys think.

 

you mean it could be battery? because alternator charges your battery. and for starting it doesnt do much. how long ago did you change your battery?

 

two months ago

 

With your car running, take the positive terminal off the battery. If the car stays running, your alternator should be charging. If it stalls, your battery is doing all the work.

 

make sure all the cables are tight. and do ECU code readin on your car. before you draw conclusion about alternator.
